Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Re: Naturalization- never registered with Selective Service, can the INS turn me

FOIA takes time and will not be helpful to you in terms of applying for citizenship.

What is the reason you never registered? how old are you now?

Re: Naturalization- never registered with Selective Service, can the INS turn me

Your heading is that you never regusterd with selective service. Can the INS turn you down? First, the INS no longer exists. The BCIS can turn you down if your non registration was willful. If you are older than 31, it probably won't matter. You should go to the selective service web site for details about what you should do under your circumstances to verify your non registration & get details about your non-registration. Then you would need to prepare an affidavit to file along with your natz application about why your non registration was not willful.

Regarding a FOIA of your immigration file, I really don't know what you hope to find that would be helpful to your natz case. The natz application primarily asks for info for the past 5 years since you became an LPR. Other than arrests, convictions, marriages, divorces, or children, all of which would be independently verifiable thru documents which you would need anyway, I don't see how the FOIA will be of much help to you. And it takes along time.
